"I see," said John,
"where Harry Truman is quoted as saying Joe
McCarthy furnishes considerable entertainment.
Maybe there is something funny about Joe being
jumped on by the Republicans as well as the
Democrats. Maybe there's something witty about
Harry saying there aren't enough communists in
this country to fill his eye. |

Pokin' Fun
Did you ever notice that even in the
off-season, people still talk about football?
Sure, the boys of summer are taking the
limelight, but the diehards still talk about the
pigskin even when the horsehide is king. |

Shortgrass Country
Deep sadness reigns over the
Shortgrass Country. Ranchers are feeding their
way through another dry winter; fossil fuel
miners' hopes and happenings are in a downspin of
serious layoffs and stacked drilling rigs. County
governments and school districts face huge drops
in revenue from the cheap oil and natural gas;
bankers don't look up from their desks until
close to closing time. |

baby pigs. He may take a lot of the crates,

As
I See It ...
In a previous column I quoted
Judith Martin, also known as "Miss
Manners," who wrote that ladies are offended
by gentlemen not removing their cowboy hats
indoors. I've been trying to refute her, but I
seem to just be digging myself in deeper and
deeper. |

If our society were a garden, I wonder
what it would be like? Would the weeds be tall
and the roots shallow? Might the leaves be limp,
the rows crooked and the crop overrun by pests?
Have we polluted the culture with chemicals and
drugs? What kind of seeds are we planting for the
future and will our efforts bear fruit? |
